Have any of you seen or heard of the computer program called Dollwear Designer Pro 2.0 ? It was created by a woman named Margaret Wolfe-Wilson. I found a site about it but it doesn't tell a price or how to order it. It sounds amazing but is probably very pricey since it is considered CAD art. I would love to own it since I love creating on the computer as well as on the sewing machine, |

Never heard of it,then again I don't do much doll clothes sewing these days,arthritic fingers.If you get it,let us know what you think. Kathi |
Well folks, I finally found a site that told me how much the program cost.............well let's just put it this way..........I WON"T be getting that one hahaha ($1,200) yipes! I had no idea it would be that much. I think this program is designed for people who are in business. Too pricey for my budget. After checking into some more sites I did find that there are other programs that are nowhere near that expensive, although still between $200-$300. The concept is still exciting to me. I'm wondering if I could do something similar using something like Paint-Shop Pro? |
I have to clarify something. The FashionCAD Program not only lets you design patterns for dolls, it lets you do people as well. It is certainly more advanced than the Dollwear Program I first mentioned. I never got a price on the dollwear program. |

John Cardiel is that man and has been since long before he went pro in the early 90s. In 1995 he helped start Anti Hero Skateboards and defined the balls out, skate everything image of the brand. He is the blueprint for the all-terrain skaters we're seeing now, nearly 20 years later. His skating, his energy, his positivity is beyond infectious; it lights up rooms. In 2008 John was featured on Internet Skate Show, Epicly Later'd. Most subjects get 3 or 4 episodes. John got 16 (one for each year he'd been on Vans to that point.). All these years later people still can't get enough of John.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jordan Farmar scored a career-high 30 points off the bench, making eight of 10 shots from 3-point range, and the Los Angeles Lakers capitalized on the absence of suspended Sacramento star DeMarcus Cousins to beat the Kings 126-122 Friday night.
Jodie Meeks made all eight of his shots and finished with 22 points, including three of the Lakers' franchise-record 19 3-pointers on 27 attempts. Pau Gasol also scored 22, and newly acquired reserve MarShon Brooks had 23.
The Lakers shot 60 percent in a matchup of teams with the two worst records in the Western Conference. They have won the first three meetings against the Kings this season, with one remaining on April 2 at Sacramento.
Los Angeles is a game behind the Kings in the conference standings and 1½ behind Utah.

Rather than working a watercolor rapidly, the mid-twentieth-century landscape watercolorist William Thon tended to devote numerous sessions of work to each sheet, always painting indoors, where he could best control the drying rates of washes and ink drawings. As a result, Thon's watercolors have denser, more built-up surfaces than the modernist watercolors of the teens and twenties. Thon particularly liked the interplay of the successive layers of wash and ink and the fortuitous blurring that often occurred.

The Secret Behind the Success of the Apache and Alcoholics Anon.
Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom wrote a book called The Starfish and the Spider. Normally a book by guys with names like that would stay in its shrink-wrapping so I could honestly tell the person who gave it to me for Christmas that it "definitely NOT collecting dust". However, this book fascinated me. If you love sociology and enjoy learning how the world is changing, then give this a read.
So I'm not trying to plug for this book, but I was fascinated at the truth revealed on its pages. The book argues that all organizations basically fall into one of these two categories… spiders or starfish, despite sharing the trait of an awkward number of legs, these animals could not be more different.
Spiders represent the exclusive, traditional vertically integrated corporate structures. Starfish, on the other hand, are inclusive and have flat, broken-down org charts.
There are limitless possibilities presented to the decentralized your organization. Here are a few in key areas. (You'll notice the prevalence of the internet, which has become the single most important tool to the growth of decentralization.)
Financial: Kiva.org
Knowledge: Wikipedia.org
Software: SourceForge.com
Marketing: MaryKay Cosmetics
Shopping: Craigslist
When you throw open the doors of contribution and offer community to participants, your organization's goals and objectives could potentially become the goals and objectives of millions more. The strength of decentralizing lies not only in the contribution of many but also in the resilience of the organization. If the vision is compelling enough, long after the initiator is gone, others will continue to carry the standard. Thus the Starfish, you cut off the leg and it grows another one while the others continue to do their jobs.
Decentralization allows each part of the group individual choice. For the same reason why capitalism and free enterprise runs national economies more efficiently than centralized socialism, organizations that are decentralized run the most efficiently. In today's world the same independent efficiency to belongs to anyone with an internet connection.This dynamic of decentralization, combined with the internet has made today's world more efficient then ever before in history. If your organization hasn't looked at becoming more decentralized, now is the time. Just like rain, an overwhelming amount can leave you drowing but everyone water, just ask the starfish.

Weymouth New Testament (WNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, and holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind should blow over the earth or the sea or upon any tree. | 1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. |
2 And I saw another angel coming from the east and carrying a seal belonging to the ever-living God. He called in a loud voice to the four angels whose work it was to injure the earth and the sea. | 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: |
3 "Injure neither land nor sea nor trees," he said, "until we have sealed the bondservants of our God upon their foreheads." | 3 "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God." |
4 When the sealing was finished, I heard how many were sealed out of the tribes of the descendants of Israel. They were 144,000. | 4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel. |
5 Of the tribe of Judah, 12,000 were sealed; Of the tribe of Reuben, 12,000; Of the tribe of Gad, 12,000; | 5 From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000, |
6 Of the tribe of Asher, 12,000; Of the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000; Of the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000; | 6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000, |
7 Of the tribe of Symeon, 12,000; Of the tribe of Levi, 12,000; Of the tribe of Issachar, 12,000; | 7 from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000, |
8 Of the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000; Of the tribe of Joseph, 12,000; Of the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000. | 8 from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000. |
9 After this I looked, and a vast host appeared which it was impossible for anyone to count, gathered out of every nation and from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in long white robes, and carrying palm-branches in their hands. | 9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. |
10 In loud voices they were exclaiming, "It is to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, that we owe our salvation!" | 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." |
11 All the angels were standing in a circle round the throne and round the Elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces in front of the throne and worshipped God. | 11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, |
12 "Even so!" they cried: "The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanks and the honor and the power and the might are to be ascribed to our God, until the Ages of the Ages! Even so!" | 12 saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!" |
13 Then, addressing me, one of the Elders said, "Who are these people clothed in the long white robes? And where have they come from?" | 13 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?" |
14 "My lord, you know," I replied. "They are those," he said, "who have just passed through the great distress, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. | 14 I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. |
15 For this reason they stand before the very throne of God, and render Him service, day after day and night after night, in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne will shelter them in His tent. | 15 Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. |
16 They will never again be hungry or thirsty, and never again will the sun or any scorching heat trouble them. | 16 Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. |
17 For the Lamb who is in front of the throne will be their Shepherd, and will guide them to watersprings of Life, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes." | 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." |

Financial advisor Karen Vogelsang speaks to a group at the Valparaiso offices of the Visiting Nurse Association on Thursday, January 23, 2014 during a program titled, "Women and their Money". The seminar discussed how women can obtain the knowledge needed to manage their finances. | Michael Gard/For Sun-Times Media

Updated: February 28, 2014 6:07AM
Attention ladies: Welcome to class.
On this Monday morning I'm giving you a surprise pop quiz on your finances. Relax, there are no right or wrong answers.
Get out your No. 2 pencil. Put your checkbook away. No peeking at your bank statements, retirement savings account or asking your mate for help. Also, answer as honestly as possible for your own good. Ready? Here we go.
What are your current liquid assets — cash on hand, checking account, savings account, certificates of deposit, life insurance cash value, stocks, bonds and so on?
What are your fixed assets — home, vehicle, personal property and so on?
What are your retirement assets — 401(k), 403(b), IRA and so on?
What are your current financial liabilities — auto loan, installment debt, personal loans, credit cards, mortgage, insurance, taxes and so on?
Bonus questions: What's the name and contact information of your financial planner? Banker? Accountant? And where are your mortgage papers, insurance policies, living will document and stock certificates?
OK, pencils down. Heads up. How'd you do? Here's why I quizzed you.
"Women are notorious for letting others handle their finances," said Karen Vogelsang, senior financial advisor and principal of Vogelsang Asset Management LLC in Valparaiso.
Vogelsang recently presented a free workshop, "Women and their Money," as part of a continuing series hosted by the Forever Society of the Visiting Nurse Association of Porter County. The organization hosts monthly workshops, for both genders, but this one immediately caught my attention.
The goal of the hour-long workshop was to educate and empower women to take control of their financial lives. Although a couple dozen women attended, there were plenty of empty seats that should have been filled by you, and you and you. Why?
"A man is not a plan," said Vogelsang, after showing a humorous clip from the classic movie, "Gone with the Wind." The sappy scene showed Scarlett O'Hara swooning for Rhett Butler, intoxicated "partly" by his money.
Such traditional marital relationships are outdated, of course, yet still too many women are living in the past regarding their knowledge of financial affairs. Namely, their own.
"It's YOUR money," Vogelsang told the audience. "You need to take full responsibility for your financial decisions."
The average age of widowhood for women is 58, Vogelsang noted, as a few older ladies in the crowd knowingly nodded in agreement. Factoring in the average life expectancy for women, up to 80 years old, that equates to several years on their own.
"These women often have unique financial needs," Vogelsang said while using a slide-show presentation to support her advice.
For instance, 85 percent of women will be on their own financially at some point. And of the elderly poor in America, more than 70 percent are women. Some women never marry, others marry later in life, some divorce and others outlive their husbands.
Other future factors must be considered, such as lost pensions, healthcare changes and life-altering events. Key financial decisions may need hard-to-find details, some number-crunching and better organization skills. And don't be scared off by ever-changing rules, fluctuating interest rates and tough-to-understand language and lingo.
"Ask a lot of questions to your financial advisor, and also questions about them," Vogelsang said.
Conduct a broker check on them. What services do they offer? How often do you meet with them? Have they ever been fined? Ask how they get paid, by fee or commission? More importantly, is there a chemistry between you both?
"And get a second opinion, or a third, just like you would do with a doctor," she said.
Plus, more women should give referrals for financial planners to their friends and coworkers, just as they do with hairstylists, workout clubs or clothing shops, she noted.
"Sixty-two percent of women don't feel comfortable working with a financial advisor," she added. "Yet investment firms are now catering to more women."
And so is Vogelsang, who handed out a spiffy financial planning folder to each guest, complete with worksheets, planning forms, retirement funding brochures and even a free copy of a book by Terry Savage, the nationally-known expert on finances, the market and economy. The swag-bag alone was worth the effort to attend, but Vogelsang's advice rang true for the women there.
"Women are the most underserved population when it comes to financial planning," Vogelsang said. "But more women are now talking about this issue and there is more sharing of financial decisions in families today."
Yes, financial advice comes with a cost but, as Vogelsang smartly pointed out, "It's more expensive to make financial mistakes. A contingency plan should be in place."
She also stressed that women with children still living in the home should be honest about money issues without shielding kids from financial truths. In other words, if you can't afford something, it's OK to tell them.
While a few women in the audience scribbled down notes, I recalled the old adage of the "four A's" regarding money issues: Allocation, analysis, accounting and adjustment.
Know your financial numbers and where to find them when needed. Review them every so often to keep a pulse on your situation. Disperse your money correctly, keeping in mind needs over wants. And adjust accordingly to keep up with the times.
If there is one piece of advice to take away from today's pop quiz or Vogelsang's insightful workshop, it's to start earlier with your record-keeping and retirement planning. Middle age isn't often early enough.
If anything, remember this timeless yet timely advice: A man is not a plan.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Ultimate Technique, Dash Jump, Counter Questions
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
1. I know to hold Block to avoid absorbing Essence. But when I let go of Block to start charging my Ultimate Technique, more often than not the Essence gets absorbed too quickly and it doesn't go towards speeding up my charging. Is there a certain way I'm supposed to do this to avoid having it absorbed before my charging starts? Do I need to be a certain distance away from the Essence? Does there have to be a certain amount of Essence floating around? Or is my timing just off? Also, are there any other situations besides holding Block that will keep Essence from being absorbed before I'm ready to use it? I want to know if I'm "safe" from it any other time so that I don't have to constantly hold Block. Does it absorb while I'm in the air, like if I'm jumping around trying for an on-landing Ultimate Technique charge? 2. How do I Dash Jump? I've seen it mentioned a few times but I don't know what it is or what its use is. The button input for it I've seen looks almost like Reverse Wind, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it. 3. Sometimes when I Counter, I'm sure that I did an instant dismemberment but other times I don't. Is it just random, or does it depend on the weapon/attack? At first I thought I was doing it wrong and not Countering at all since I was getting a bunch of "automatic" dismemberments at first but then they stopped and I just seemed to be doing weaker sort of knockback attacks. --- http://eric-3.deviantart.com/ http://backloggery.com/eric3 | |
from the way i see it, your timing is off. NGS2 or NGS1 (PS3 ver) or NG1 or NG2 or NGB (XBOX ver) designed by former Team NINJA leader is all bout timing like a fighting game. yes to avoid absorbing Essence is by holding the block button, if you let go Ryu will absorb it. almost all veteran players always hold block button when in fight, you can still move around by dashing or dash then press jump. most of average players such as myself do UT spamming whenever in trouble, the move is hold block button, dash, jump away from enemy, shuriken or bow(while in the air) and charge UT before Ryu feet touch the ground. in NGS2 counter to delimb, yes depends on weapon and counter move to delimb enemy, Enma's Fang counter do not delimb thou. oh yeah, you may not get what i'm saying, the easy way to understand maybe by watching how pro play the game. here's some link might help you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Uerd58PZk&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32Ka2qjd35Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw8Qp6yzRas&feature=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDAiYc_sy8A&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mefJM27xFUA&feature=plcp --- --- PSN ID: safwan_hearts | |
1. onlanding UT is preferred as you can still keep holding block as you press triangle for the UT. what you do is mario jump on some guy, as you descend from the mario jump, press traiangle and you will land and do UT automatically there's a distance when you become too far and essence some coming towards you, but as long as you are close, any time you let go block button, you absorb essence. 2. dash jump = dodge jump. press guard, press a direction, and hold it in the direction you want to jump to and press jump, onlanding, press guard again. you can basically just hold forward, alternating guard and jump to do this. 3. the automatic limb removal only works on level one enemies. for example, dragon sword SS counter has very high chance of removing a leg from dual sword ninjas, archers, and tech ninja with green visors, but it doesn't work on claw ninjas. claw ninjas have much higher health bar and you have to wear them out before you can remove their limbs. this is different from Ninja Gaiden 2 on Xbox 360 where any limb removal move have 100% chance of removing a limb --- if you miss traditional SoulCalibur arcade stories add this to your sig & like this page http://www.facebook.com/who.is.viola.petition4missing.stories | |
Thanks for the videos and help. 1. I didn't know you could dash then also jump while Blocking. I've only been dashing. I guess that's the only way to do on-landing UT with Essence then? Out of curiosity, if I wanted to do just a ground UT with Essence, what is the timing for that? Do I have to switch from Block to Triangle immediately, leaving literally no time in between the two that I'm not holding one or the other? I'm finding it hard to practice since I can only do it during a fight and there's little time in between enemy attacks to let go of block. 2. Oh. Dash Jump is literally dash then jump, haha. Is that basically for cutting down the recovery speed of just plain dashing so that you can move around faster? 3. So even on the weakest enemies, no move is 100% guaranteed to delimb? Except maybe Guillotine Throw into a wall and Izuna Drop. What about Flying Swallow? Sometimes I cut the heads off full-health enemies, but lately it hasn't been doing it much (on the same enemies). This is a separate question I forgot to ask: Is there a way to skip cutscenes? I started this game a while ago but had to put it down for a while. When I started back up I just deleted my save and started a new game, and want to skip the cutscenes I already saw. I've tried all the buttons but none of them let me skip. --- http://eric-3.deviantart.com/ http://backloggery.com/eric3 | |
the easy way is, watch those vids and visit their channel to watch more NGS2 vids and experiment them yourself. that's how i do it :) you can do it :D oh you can skip cutscenes by pressing START button more than 3 times. --- --- PSN ID: safwan_hearts | |
I did watch the videos, thanks. I still don't know how to effectively do a ground Essence UT, but I just use on-landing instead anyway... I pressed Start a bunch of times, but it never skipped cutscenes. Maybe you have to see them at least once before it lets you skip? I guess I'll try it on Chapter Challenge or something. --- http://eric-3.deviantart.com/ http://backloggery.com/eric3 | |
on landing UT is better cause it's much safer(you can throw shuriken or bow before landing) n faster than just charge on ground. ground Essence UT works well when you far from essence. bout cutscenes maybe so cause when i play story mode i didn't skip cutscenes. --- --- PSN ID: safwan_hearts | |
OK, thanks. And yeah, seems that you have to see the cutscenes once before skipping them. I couldn't skip until Chapter Challenge. --- http://eric-3.deviantart.com/ http://backloggery.com/eric3 | |
Well, all things considered, these are all questions of someone who really wants to get better at this game. I like seeing that. Anyway, standing UT can be done if you just charge. Essence will come to you automatically. The only way you can do standing UT is if you hold T while the enemy is busy dying and his essence comes out of his body. Either way, it's not really useful nor stylish. And for me, Stylish matters. Keep your questions coming dude. --- Fear not the weapon, nor the hands they lay in, but the mind that wields them both, for that elucidates the true nightmare that stands before you. | |
Thanks. Yeah, the timing and stuff for standing UT seemed too much trouble and not worth it. I eventually found it more effective to dash jump, shuriken, then on-landing UT. --- http://eric-3.deviantart.com/ http://backloggery.com/eric3 |

Object Culture
Quick and easy molecular analysis is, by most accounts, still a long way off. Many a project claiming the ability to scan an object and report its make-up have been scoffed at for idealistic and impractical leaps in logic. With that in mind, the guys behind the Vessyl are confident enough in their liquid-identifying smart cup's skills to start taking preorders. The project is headed by Mark One, and has been in development for seven years. Given its 2015 ship date and the fact that I ain't no scientist, it's tough to evaluate the veracity of their claims... but that's never stopped us before.
They promise the sleek Bluetooth equipped mug can identify the volume and type of beverage, down to the specific brand, and break out the according caloric value, alcohol content, caffeine content, and so on, in a tasteful display on the side of the cup. Additionally, the cup will weigh this information against your daily intake to help you make good choices about your hydration and diet based on projected goals or needs.
It can do yogurt, it can do coffee, and beer and god knows what else. You can tell it to tell you to cut down or ramp up, and it'll network with your workout devices of choice. It can tell how quickly you're drinking, and will judge you accordingly. Charge it wirelessly on a cool looking contact base every few days. All of the is managed via your handy app.
The Yves Béhar-designed form seems pretty dialed, and on-screen appears lightweight enough for practical use, though I might not personally stroll along the wharf with my pricey gadget-mug (preorder for $99, later $199). The outside of the mug is smooth, except for a lightly faceted section used for the display, giving you an easy tactile and visual cues for where to look. Activate the display by tipping the cup slightly.

Alberto Contador: How strong is the doping case against him?
Alberto Contador, winner of this year's Tour de France, tested positive for a banned substance during the race. The cycling superstar says he was a victim of food contamination.
Andres Kudacki/AP Photo
Alberto Contador, cycling's brightest star and a lynchpin of its post-doping rebound, has been suspended from the sport two months after winning his third Tour de France.
The international cycling federation, UCI, announced today that traces of the banned drug clenbuterol had been found in Mr. Contador's sample from July 21 – the second and final rest day of this year's grueling Tour. He went on to beat Andy Schleck of Luxembourg by a mere 39 seconds after 2,262 miles of racing.
If Contador is charged with doping he could become only the second rider ever to be stripped of his Tour title – following US cyclist Floyd Landis's fall from grace in 2006. Clenbuterol use carries a two-year ban.
But such a result is far from certain in this case.
Contador blames meat he ate
Illustrating the complexity of the case, the "adverse analytical finding" by the German lab responsible for doping controls at this year's Tour was only revealed to Contador on Aug. 24. The UCI took another month before announcing his suspension and an ongoing investigation could take months to yield a final result.

Final Thoughts
Being the first USB 3.0 device that I have had the pleasure of personally testing, it would have been easy to be blown away by the whole affair and rate the Sharkoon SATA QuickPort USB 3.0 docking station toaster 100% and be done with it.
However, after several hours of testing and using the device, I can report that it is indeed a good product. It is based on the same design as all previous Sharkoon hard drive toaster devices, but of course with the addition of the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface. Why change something, when it's not broken? The toaster is a simple product, but it is completely easy to use when installing and removing drives with the handy eject button. It accepts not only standard desktop sized hard drives, but also laptop size 2.5-inch drives.
Plug in a new SSD and watch this thing fly - we saw up to almost 200MB/s read speeds. Yep, it blazes along! And with up to 5Gbit/s support thanks to the USB 3.0 standard, as faster drives come onto the market, this device should be able to see even faster transfer speeds up to a theoretical maximum of 625MB/s.
Sharkoon is one of the first companies to bring a USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure onto the market and has embraced the new SuperSpeed USB standard rather well. We contacted Sharkoon for a price on the device and they claim that it should sell for around $60 USD in the USA. Considering the speed, quality and ease of use of this product, it would be hard to go past this one. It of course comes highly recommended.
Bring on the faster SSDs now so we can really see what this can do. For now, though, we are suitably impressed with the 200MB/s that we saw during our tests! Native USB 3.0 on the GIGABYTE UD7 motherboard performed a little better than the Sharkoon NEC USB 3.0 controller card that is sold separately, but at least you can buy this card if you are not ready to buy a new motherboard that natively supports the new interface. It will set you back around $40 USD in the USA, which is fair considering we are dealing with new technology.

A resurfacing project of side streets on St. Armands Key was completed earlier this week, according to Michael Del Rossi, project manager and engineer for the city of Sarasota.
The two-week project involved replacing 1.25 inches of asphalt on the roads.
"There really isn't any grade changes made to the roads," Del Rossi said.
The resurfacing work is part of a $1.8 million ongoing project involving more than 75 Sarasota streets.

Keep wearing that dress Taylor! Someday someone will ask you to Junior Prom.

Is bacterial vaginosis contagious?
Although bacterial vaginosis is not considered to be a contagious condition, the role of transmissibility of bacteria among individuals is not fully understood. Since having multiple or new sexual partners increases a woman's risk of developing bacterial vaginosis, this suggests that spread of bacteria among individuals may alter the balance of bacteria in the vagina and potentially predispose to bacterial vaginosis. However, since bacterial vaginosis also occurs in celibate women, other causative factors must also play a role in its development.
It is not possible to contract bacterial vaginosis from toilet seats, swimming pools, or hot tubs, or from touching contaminated objects.
How is bacterial vaginosis diagnosed?
When a woman reports an unusual vaginal discharge, the doctor will ask her a series of routine questions to help distinguish mild from more serious conditions. Additional issues that might indicate the presence of a more serious condition include fever, pelvic pain, new or multiple sexual partners (especially with unprotected intercourse), and a history of sexually-transmitted infections (STDs).
In addition to these questions, the doctor will perform a pelvic exam. During the exam, the doctor notes the appearance of the vaginal lining and cervix. The doctor will also perform a manual exam of the ovaries and uterus. The cervix is examined for tenderness, which might indicate a more serious infection. The doctor may collect samples to check for Chlamydia or gonorrhea infection.
Examining the vaginal discharge under the microscope can help distinguish bacterial vaginosis from yeast vaginitis (vaginal yeast infection, Candidiasis) and trichomoniasis (a type of sexually-transmitted disease or STD). A sign of bacterial vaginosis under the microscope is a vaginal cell called a clue cell. Clue cells are vaginal cells covered with bacteria and are believed to be the most reliable diagnostic sign of bacterial vaginosis. In addition to clue cells, women with bacterial vaginosis have fewer of the normal vaginal bacteria, called lactobacilli. A vaginal pH greater than 4.5 is also suggestive of bacterial vaginosis. Cultures of bacteria are generally not useful in establishing the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis.
Finally, the doctor may perform a "whiff test" with potassium hydroxide (KOH) liquid. When a drop of KOH testing liquid used in the "whiff test" contacts a drop of the discharge from a woman with bacterial vaginosis, a certain fishy odor can result.

"We need the infrastructure in place for people to feel comfortable using these bikes," says Gary Rossmiller, a BikeDenver member who's working on the connectivity issues with the city. "We want better through-routes, something like Logan-Grant going in and out of downtown. Striping on Martin Luther King Boulevard would help. But talk about huge gaps — Alameda and Santa Fe. What a nightmare. The Platte River has only a limited number of crossings, and none of them are very transit-oriented unless you're a car, a truck or a train."
Rossmiller and Halasinski know that high-dollar improvements that might help — more pedestrian bridges like the Highland connection to downtown, for example — aren't likely to happen anytime soon. And while some activists enthuse about them, Denver may not be ready for the "bike boulevards" found in Portland, quiet streets that run parallel to arterials and provide speedy bike routes without all the stop signs. (Cars are deterred from jumping over from the arterials because the boulevards force them to turn right every few blocks, while cut-throughs allow the bikes to proceed.) But the BikeDenver bunch is moving ahead with more modest changes in anticipation of the B-Cycle rollout: a push for more bike parking downtown, safety programs, better street markings and transit connections.
Other major battles are still looming. The video detection system that allows the city's cameras to sense when cars are waiting at major intersections doesn't work with bikes. In December, van Heuven recalls, she and 27 other hard-core riders went on a winter solstice ride. It was one of the coldest nights of the year, with subzero wind chill. There were plenty of cars on the street, but few bicycles.
The solstice riders shivered their way through City Park and up Franklin to Colfax, where they waited for the light to change.
And waited. And waited.
Two to four times a month, Monica Strobel makes a point of taking the bus to work. This puzzles some of her friends, who've pulled up next to her at bus stops and offered a ride, assuming her car must be in the shop. But as executive director of Transportation Solutions, a transportation management association in the Cherry Creek and Glendale areas, Strobel figures she should lead by example.
TMAs are private-public entities, made up of local businesses, government agencies and transit authorities (such as RTD) that have a stake in advocating for multi-modal travel. Along with the Downtown Denver Partnership, Strobel's group is one of the oldest and most visible TMAs in town. The city's new transportation plan calls for encouraging the formation of more TMAs as a way to achieve its goals.
Among other objectives, Transportation Solutions seeks ways to relieve the traffic and parking headaches faced by businesses in Cherry Creek and along Colorado Boulevard. The group runs a transportation center at the University of Denver, pushing discounted bus passes to students and staff, and developed the Cherry Creek Bike Rack, a free station where commuting cyclists can safely store their bikes. The group is now studying a car-sharing program, a step beyond carpooling; for a modest monthly fee, participants can rent a car for a few bucks an hour, gas included. The idea is to provide autos for essential trips while weaning locals off complete reliance on a personal vehicle.
"If people can get rid of a car, that's two to four hundred dollars a month they can spend locally," Strobel says. "It's a huge economic-development tool."
Several TMA programs target short, non-commuter trips, but better bike routes and pedestrian crossings will only take you so far. Many metro residents live too far from work for such alternatives to be practical, particularly in bad weather; after all, the average daily commute for downtown workers is 26 miles. So public transit, rapid or not, remains a key to Strobel's hopes for Cherry Creek and the city's overall plan.
People who aren't "transit-dependent" — that is, people who have a choice between driving or taking the bus — can be tough sells. Strobel says even minor improvements her group has embarked upon, such as making bus stops more visible and attractive, with better information about routes, can boost ridership. But other initiatives, such as trying to convince area workers to use buses along Colorado Boulevard at lunchtime, have been hampered by buses that don't run often enough. And she's alarmed by reports of anticipated service cutbacks at RTD as a result of sagging revenue.
"They're considering cutting service," Strobel says. "How counterintuitive is that? People need more service."
In fact, the financial problems at RTD have raised questions not only about short-term bus service, but the fate of FasTracks, a major component of the city's plan. When voters approved a four-cents-on-every-ten-dollars tax hike in 2004 to finance a buildout of the light-rail system, it was expected that the system would cost $4.7 billion and be completed by 2017. Rising construction costs and other factors have hiked the estimate to $7.9 billion, while shortfalls in sales-tax revenue have left the budget for the project more than $2 billion short of that figure. That's prompted a flurry of recent meetings between RTD leaders and metro-area mayors, who are unhappy at the prospect that their lines will be seriously shortened or delayed.

Gear Question
Im getting in to backcountry riding this...
Im getting in to backcountry riding this winter and will be touring with a splitboard. What kind of boots are best, stiffer or softer?
Lauren B.
I like a stiffer boot better. It works more like a ski boot and will allow you to spend a lot of time skinning without your ankles going a whole lot of work. I've found that the more you ask a soft boot to flex, the faster it'll break down, and will get too big too fast, and eventually cause major heel-slippage. To me, the stiffer, the better :)

As late as the 1940s, some Revolutionary-era buildings still stood in the vicinity of Queens Boulevard and Broadway in Elmhurst. But property values made development much more lucrative than any potential tourist attraction, so they didn't last.
In 1939, Fred Reiner, who made his fortune in mortgages and real estate, bought the northeast corner lot. It had already been flattened by eminent domain when the subway was being built a few years earlier. Reiner had a real estate office at 87-12 Grand Ave. and lived in Forest Hills Gardens at 85 Ascan Ave.
He built an art deco limestone building on the Elmhurst site. The first tenant was Isaac "Izzy" Strauss, who had broken away from the Pep Boys automotive parts chain of Philadelpia to start his own auto supply business called Strauss Stores. The area was already zoned for car-related businesses.
The corner entered the history books on July 11, 1949, when John L. Miller, a clerk living on 54th Avenue in Elmhurst, left the bar on the corner opposite Strauss Stores and was killed by a trolley car. Miller has the unfortunate distinction of being the last person killed by a trolley in Queens, as the line was discontinued a short time later and replaced by buses.
The area is still crowded and hazardous — to both people and structures, as Reiner's building didn't last either. A seven-story office building stands where it had been.
But Strauss lives on in the Pep Boys mascot logo. His caricature is the one on the right, even though it's called Jack after one of the company's original founders.

2010 Radio Show Sells All Exhibit Space
Washington, DC - Sep 16, 2010 - The organizers of the 2010 Radio Show have announced that exhibit space for the show has sold out. The event will be held in Washington, DC, Sept. 29 - Oct. 1. More than 70 exhibitors will showcase their wares and services in the exhibit area called the Marketplace.
This year's Radio Show is a joint effort of the National Association of Broadcasters and the Radio Advertising Bureau. The exhibit floor has changed from previous years. Instead of booths measuring 10' x 10' and larger, the marketplace will feature table-top displays, with most tables arranged in a box configuration.
Radio magazine observation: While the NAB and RAB are upbeat about the convention, there hasn't been a strong reaction in the radio engineering community about the revamped convention. Radio magazine has also heard grumbling from some exhibitors about the revised exhibit space layout.

Sony Bringing PSN Pass To All First-Party Games
Good for buyers, bad for sellers and stores (271 comments)
Looks like the people who lose out here will be either the stores (used games no longer sell for as much) or the people who sell their used games back to the stores. And seeing as the prices paid by stores for used games are already shockingly low, I doubt they could take another $10 off the offer price.
As a buyer, I should get the advantage of an extra $10 discount on the used game if I don't want multiplayer. And my choice is nice and easy - if the used game isn't at least $10 cheaper, I'm not buying it. Right now in the UK it's quite common for the used game to only be $3-$5 cheaper than new.

Sabor Latino packs the Incan, Spanish, African, and Asian flavors that influence Peruvian cuisine into a menu of traditional dishes. Plates of fresh ceviche cure pieces of fish, shrimp, or black mussels in lime juice with a mixture of vegetables, and causas stack grilled octopus and other meats between mashed-potato patties. Heartier fare includes lomo saltado, tender skirt steak sautéed with tomatoes and cilantro, as well as corvine a la criolla, a breaded sea bass topped with a salsa of fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime. The cozy restaurant creates an intimate atmosphere as patrons sit around small white-clothed tables. A wrought-iron fence surrounds the brick and stone patio, where guests enjoy refreshing breezes and views of the nearby lake.
Frustrated by a lack of local options for authentic Mexican cuisine, the Alarcon family decided to take matters into their own hands. Originally from Monterey, Mexico, they decided to stop searching for a great Mexican restaurant and just make one instead. The family started by making meals for friends, eventually expanding a take-out taqueria, and, today, the Alarcons welcome guests to El Agave Azul, Named after the type of cactus used to make tequila, El Agave Azul serves up tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, which guests can customize by selecting ultra-fresh ingredients instead of just having their name written in sour cream on them. In addition to fresh pico de gallo and grilled pineapple, diners can choose from 17 different fillings, including the house specialty al pastor pork, tender barbacoa beef, or spicy mushrooms.
Tijuana Taxi Co. invites guests to experience Mexico's vibrant spirit with hearty cuisine and frosty beverages. The extensive menu features a variety of Mexican and Tex-Mex classics, including carne asada enchiladas, shrimp fajitas, and mahi-mahi tacos spiced with chipotle mayo.The menu also incorporates a bit of international flair into some dishes. Miso-glazed salmon embraces trans-Pacific flavors, while the homemade madeira sauce spooned over the house-favorite chicken nods to more European culinary traditions. Drinks, however, skew firmly south-of-the-border, with options like margaritas, Coronas, and Dos XX.
The celebratory atmosphere is further emphasized by the colorful decor at Tijuana Taxi Co.'s stateside outposts. The dining rooms are decorated like cheerful cantinas, complete with colorful woodwork, vintage-style posters, and twinkling lights. UFC fights are aired on certain nights, and guests can also take advantage of an outdoor patio.
Cancun Mexican Grill throws sensory fiestas for taste buds of all shapes and saliva-levels. Delectable edibles range from Mexican specialties, such as meaty chimichangas ($9.95), to traditional Spanish dishes, such as palomilla, which pairs grilled skirt steak with onions, cilantro, and mojo aside black beans and fried plantains ($9.95). To sate dulce-teeth, Cancun Mexican Grill also outputs desserts, including deep-fried ice cream ($3.95) and apple burritos ($6.95). Likewise, sweet and fruity margaritas can arrive tableside in small ($7.95) or 46-ounce ($13.95) glasses. The Cancun Mexican Grill's signature Cran margarita—Don Julio Anejo tequila, cranberry juice, and sweet and sour mix—is a fitting companion during live music performances, which blow through the restaurant on select Fridays and Saturdays.
Native Mexican and owner Juan Rodriguez serves a bevy of authentic stomach-stuffers to Floridian feasters with the help of an attentive service staff. Savvy snackers bombard embedded taste buds and online Scrabble nemeses with first-course forkfuls of tostadas de ceviche, shrimp, pico de gallo, and avocado seasoned with fresh lime juice on a flat, fried tortilla ($7.95). Hungry diners gladly muscle through main courses such as the hot and spicy burrito, topped with beef tips and Orale sauce ($10.95), or sizzling trios of marinated pork-filled tacos de carnitas ($9.59). The pollo de poncho features fiery chorizo sausage plucked directly from Florida's finest encased-meat groves and spread across a grilled chicken breast with rice, beans, and three tortillas ($11.95). Finish off satiation symphonies with a cooling crescendo of fried ice cream ($3.99) or an order of fried churros ($3.50).

My first spicebush swallowtail of the 2014 season emerged this morning. I tried to get his picture while he was still in the cage, but he was real anxious to leave and flew out before I could take it. I saw him a few minutes later looking for some sun amongst the leaves - There are still about a dozen chrysalides in the cages, with two late instar cats yet to pupate, so I should be releasing them for a while. My third red-spotted purple had emerged and was flying frantically around the cage when I went out to the porch the first time this morning. She was huge and had more than the usual number of red spots on the end of her forewing, looking like the one from last year that so impressed me. I assume she's a she because of her size, but i suppose it's possible these extra-spot RSPs are just bigger, I don't know. I got her picture - I've released two red-spotted purples already, the first one smallish, probably a male, the next one bigger, maybe a male, maybe a female, but both only having two red spots. One of them was flying around the porch yesterday. I have an idea I'll be finding RSP eggs/cats pretty soon! Sherry |

The last of the five red-spotted purples emerged this morning, and I just recently released her. This was another big one, so I'm pretty sure she was a female, but she didn't have any more than the usual number of red spots on her forewing, topside. Another spicebush swallowtail has emerged, but she's still in the cage, since she only recently emerged. The spicebush swallowtail count - Females - 3 I found two little spicebush cats. I couldn't imagine where they came from, but then I saw a VERY scraggly, old female spicebush swallowtail laying eggs on the sassafras in the garden. I don't know how this poor thing managed to fly, but she's leaving her legacy for when's she's gone. I brought the two little cats in to raise. I also found a late instar cat that I missed. It's just as big as the two remaining big cats - I sure hope it's not parasitized. My first palamedes swallowtail of the year emerged this morning, and I just released her. She's BIG and has the red smudge on her inner hindwings, also the blue spots, so I'm pretty certain she's a female - Sherry |
